it always seemed to me as an american that most british singers LOSE their accent when singing.

There's a misconception that accents disappear when people sing. Probably true in some cases, but generally they just sing in an American accent for some reason.

It'd be harder to pick for a North American because you're used to the accent. :)

Pop music is the only medium where American accents get props, so classic.
